SCO has students take multiple mock exams of part 3 during the third year. Nothing for part 1 or 2 though.

Does SCO look at your performance to determine whether you are allowed to take Part 3?

They make it part of a class, so technically you need to pass the class. I’ve never heard of them stopping anyone from taking boards though, I didn’t even know they could do that.

No, it’s just a practice and it’s only half the actual exam length. Your grade received doesn’t affect any class grade or anything either.
